Pros

4 week vacation from the start, cool work environment at the new Old Navy building in Mission Bay, flexibility with work schedule and PTO, industry leader, strong presence in industry

Cons

Very strong culture is almost oppressive and brain washing. Must have passion for Retail Industry. Team mentality can sometimes hinder progress. Goals across organization are not aligned, causing energy wasted on internal battles rather than working towards the same thing. Needs to simplify, fast paced (sometimes too fast)

Pros

For the name - but don't expect it to be a good experience.

Cons

It's all about how brown your nose is. It's not only prevalent but encouraged. If you're not someone's pet, you can forget about your chances of advancing.

Pros

I love the people, I've never had such fun and caring co-workers.

Cons

Very few people in senior leadership take the initiative to develop well thought out strategies and lead their teams. Everyone is so afraid of failure that nobody is willing to take chances. Upper leadership is so worried about covering for themselves, that they will completely throw you under the bus if they think it will help their career.
